🧠 Prompt Options

You can choose how the AI interprets and formats the extracted content:

• System Prompt (default)

  A pre-configured prompt optimized for clean and actionable OCR output.

• Custom Prompt

  Define your own instruction, such as:

  “Extract only numbers and email addresses from the image.”

  “Summarize the main points in bullet form.”

Use this to tailor the AI’s output to your use case.
